You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Spanish version Illustration Illustration Atherosclerosis, also called "hardening of the arteries," occurs when fatty substances build up in the artery wall. The main fatty substance in this buildup is cholesterol. This buildup makes the artery stiffer than normal and causes partial or complete blockage of the flow of blood and oxygen to the body. Atherosclerosis affects mainly the medium-sized arteries, such as the coronary (heart) arteries, carotid (neck) arteries, cerebral (brain) arteries, and kidney arteries. It is also often found in the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body, and the branches of the aorta to the arms and legs. Atherosclerosis tends to build up near branching points in the arteries.

Prevention Definition: Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material is deposited along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens, and may eventually block the arteries. Atherosclerosis is just one of several types of "arterio"-sclerosis, which is characterized by thickening and hardening of artery walls, but the two terms are often used to mean the same thing. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Atherosclerosis is a common disorder of the arteries. Fat cholesterol and other substances accumulate in the walls of arteries and form "atheromas" or plaques. Eventually, this fatty tissue can erode the wall of the artery, diminish its elasticity (stretchiness) and interfere with blood flow. Plaques can also rupture, causing debris to migrate downstream within an artery. This is a common cause of heart attack and stroke.

Atherosclerosis refers to the build up of plaque in the walls of the arteries leading to a reduction in the calibre of the vessel. The narrowing does not occur suddenly but builds up over several years where cholesterol , fat and the smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels have been transformed into a thickened, and sometimes calcified, mass. The result is that the arteries become constricted, their elasticity disappears and the volume of blood able to travel through them at any given time is reduced.

Extractions: Atherosclerosis Also indexed as: Arterial Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Hardening of the Arteries, Plaque (Arterial) Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a very common disease of the major blood vessels. It is characterized by fatty streaks along the vessel walls and by deposits of cholesterol and calcium. Atherosclerosis of arteries supplying the heart is called coronary artery disease. It can restrict the flow of blood to the heart, which often triggers heart attacks intermittent claudication People with elevated cholesterol levels are much more likely to have atherosclerosis than people with low cholesterol levels. Many important nutritional approaches to protecting against atherosclerosis are aimed at lowering serum cholesterol levels. People with diabetes are also at very high risk for atherosclerosis, as are people with elevated triglycerides and high homocysteine

Extractions: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE The narrowing and blockage of the arteries by plaque , which consists of cholesterol, calcium, clotting proteins, and other substances, is called atherosclerosis. When this process occurs in the arteries leading to the heart, the result is coronary heart disease . If the blood supply to the heart muscle is severely reduced or stopped, and the heart doesnt receive the oxygen it needs, a heart attack occurs. The muscle cells suffer irreversible damage and die. The pain of a heart attack is actually the pain of dying heart muscle tissue. The process of atherosclerosis is now known to begin as early as in childhood. However, even late in adulthood, lifestyle changes can reduce the onset or severity of coronary artery disease. Close Window Home

Extractions: Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis caused by a build-up of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. (Arteriosclerosis is a general term for thickening or hardening of the arteries.) Plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin, and can develop in medium or large arteries. The artery wall becomes thickened and looses its elasticity. Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease that may start as early as childhood. However, the disease has the potential to progress rapidly.

Extractions: Stanford's Program for Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Therapies (PACT) uses an integrated approach of aggressive behavioral and medical therapy for patients with established cardiovascular disease and those who have modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events such as stroke. This program is an expansion of the Stanford Preventive Cardiology Clinic , which was established nearly 30 years ago. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that reducing cholesterol levels prevents cardiovascular disease and lowers total mortality. Other studies, using multiple research methods over several decades, confirm the evidence linking risk factors and cardiovascular disease. Angiographic and functional studies in atherosclerosis show that aggressive risk-factor modification retards the progression of vascular disease and stabilizes vulnerable plaque. Comprehensive risk assessment and therapy is now recognized as an integral part of care for patients with cardiovascular disease and those at high risk.

Extractions: Atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis (AS) is characterized by yellow atheromatous plaques up to 1.5 cm in diameter that line at least part of the lumen of the vessel. These plaques are found to contain a superficial fibrous cap which is composed of smooth muscle cells, leukocytes, and dense collagen. Under this cap are more smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and T-cells. There may also be a central area of necrosis, which is very prominent in this slide. This central area is characterized by dead cells, lipid, cholesterol clefts (seen occupying the majority of the right half of this slide), foamy macrophages, and plasma proteins. The atheroma is often preceded by a fatty streak. Contrast this atheroma with a complicated one. Fifty percent of all deaths in the United States are attributable to atherosclerosis.

http://www.drlockie.com/disease/atheros.htm

Extractions: Atherosclerosis Slow clogging up and hardening of arteries due to build-up of fatty deposits (atheroma, atheromatous plaque) on smooth inner walls; as these deposits become larger and harden into plaque, artery walls lose their smoothness and elasticity, and blood flow is disrupted; plaque eats into and weakens artery walls, sometimes causing arteries to swell or burst (aneurysm). Condition both contributes to and is aggravated by arteriosclerosis (age-related hardening of arteries). May be symptomless until arteries of heart are affected (see Coronary artery disease), or arteries supplying brain and other vital organs (see Stroke Kidney failure ); plaque-narrowed arteries are also vulnerable to blockage by blood clots and dislodged fragments of plaque. This is responsible for more deaths in the UK than any other cause. Atherosclerosis appears to be related to high consumption of meat, eggs, butter, and cream, which contain lots of saturated fats and cholesterol, and affects nearly all Westerners to some degree, even children, though severity increases with age; women become as vulnerable as men after the (see Menopause . Recent American research has suggested that chlorine in the water supply may be a contributory factor; other researchers have pointed the finger at deficiencies of copper and vanadium.
